With the big project finished, I embarked on something smaller a month ago...but I put it on hold. Now I'm at it again.

The grid is one square off on one column so the whole thing is off. Any better ways to make an accurate grid? I know pre-gridded is a thing but I have a couple of meters of that plain 14ct fabric that I want to use up.

How has your week been, did you work on anything exciting?

This is really good! I never would've guessed it was your first time. Satin stitch can be a real pain and yours looks really nice.

Thank you! I figured out the knack of sort of waggling the needle under each stitch to help them lay down flat, but actually getting them to go where I want to is still an exercise in frustration half the time. Just takes practice, I suppose!
